No. 10 / 718,071 filed Nov. 20, 2003, which claim the benefit of provisional Application No. 60 / 427,912 filed Nov. 20, 2002. All patents and patent applications cited in this disclosure are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The invention is directed to in vitro and in vivo methods of modulating neurogenesis. Novel agents for modulating neurogenesis and novel Exendin analogs also provided. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Neural stem cells (NSC) are a source for new neurons in the mammalian CNS. NSC are located within the ependymal and / or subventricular zone (SVZ) lining the lateral ventricle (Doetsch et al., 1999; Johansson et al., 1999b) and in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation (Gage et al., 1998). Studies have revealed the potential for several additional locations...
